GlasGarten Bacter AE Shrimp (35g) | Nutrients for Live Freshwater Shrimp Food/Aquarium Water (Neocaridina, Amano, Red Cherry, Rili)

Alright, shrimp whisperers, prepare yourselves for a rollicking review of GlasGarten Bacter AE Shrimp Tank Treatment (35g)—the microbial magic dust that’s got my tank buzzing with happy crustaceans and biofilm buffets. This stuff is like a secret handshake for your shrimp, coaxing them out of their hidey-holes with a promise of gourmet goodness. Mix it, pour it, and watch it work its cloudy wizardry—but beware, this is a potion to wield with finesse, not a free-for-all. Let’s dive in with some humor and a hearty shrimp salute! First off, the quality of Bacter AE is pure shrimp sorcery. Packed with beneficial bacteria and enzymes, it’s like a probiotic party in a 35g jar—think of it as yogurt for your tank, but way cooler. I scoop a teensy bit (we’re talking “pinch of fairy dust” levels), mix it into some water, and unleash the cloudy chaos into my aquarium. That milky haze doesn’t just float around looking pretty—it’s a homing beacon, snaking its way into every mossy nook, cranny, and shrimp-sized speakeasy where my little buddies lurk. Within hours, my baby shrimp are popping out like they’ve RSVP’d to a biofilm feast, nibbling away at the invisible buffet this stuff cultivates. It’s like I’ve hired a Michelin-star chef for my tank, and the dress code is claws and antennae. The distribution? Absolute genius. That cloudy mix doesn’t clump or sink like a lazy rock—it dances through the water column, finding every hiding spot from the filter shadows to the driftwood penthouse. My shrimp colony—usually a bunch of reclusive introverts—turns into a social club, grazing on the biofilm that sprouts up like a microbial lawn. Their shells are shinier, their hustle’s stronger, and I swear one of them winked at me through the glass. This isn’t just food; it’s a lifestyle upgrade for biofilm feeders, and my shrimp are living their best lives. Now, a word of caution, because this is where the comedy turns to a gentle PSA: Bacter AE is potent, folks—like a double espresso shot for your tank. The instructions might tempt you to go ham and dump in a heap, but resist the urge! Overuse this bad boy, and you’ll turn your pristine aquarium into a bacterial soup thicker than a fog machine at a disco. Dose it lightly—think once or twice a week, tailored to your tank size and shrimp squad numbers. I’ve got a 10-gallon with a modest crew, so a smidge does the trick; if you’ve got a shrimp metropolis in a 50-gallon, adjust accordingly. Too much, and you’re not feeding biofilm, you’re growing a science experiment—trust me, your shrimp don’t need that kind of drama. In conclusion, GlasGarten Bacter AE Shrimp Tank Treatment (35g) is a high-quality, shrimp-approved marvel that delivers microbial munchies right to your colony’s secret lairs. It’s engagingly effective, hilariously easy to use, and turns your tank into a biofilm bonanza—just don’t get cocky with the scoop. Used sparingly, it’s a weekly treat that keeps your shrimp shimmying and your water happy. Five stars, two claws up, and a cheeky “less is more, shrimp lords!” from me!

I just received my bacter AE yesterday, added a small dose and my Neocaridina Shrimp are coming out like crazy. They are happy little shrimp. 🦐 This stuff is magic, so happy I ordered it.

Great stuff that gets my tank buddies (2 Panda Garras, half a dozen shrimp and snails) moving around and eating. Dose about a quarter of the provided scooper per 10 gallons, about every 1-2 weeks, depending how well planted your tank is and other supplemental food you give. It's better to go easy and be safe than sorry with adding too much. Tips: During tank top offs, I'll add this and shake/mix it before adding it to my tank. Keep the plastic cover; it'll help keep the scooper (and your fingers) clean from the powder between uses.

My shrimp are now surviving. I e given shrimp a shot 4 times with no success. This last try things are finally going great and the only change made is this food. Lifetime customer here!

This food is great for shrimp, mine go bonkers whenever I add it! Only downside is that if you don’t have a surface skimmer, it can cause some pretty brutal surface build up that can cause problems. If there’s a thick surface film then you won’t get the oxygen exchange that your tank needs and it can suffocate your live stock. Definitely pre mix with water and use a turkey baster or something to add it to the tank otherwise a lot of it just floats on the surface contributing to the surface film. I might feed this a few times if I see little shrimplets running around, but I’ll probably stick to hard foods since I don’t have a skimmer and it started to cause problems after a few days of use, and yes I was using the correct dose, probably even way less than the correct dose. The dose on the back is for a super large tank, so I was doing the smallest pinch because I have a 5 gallon tank and it still caused a few problems. If I can figure out a way to get some surface skimming action, I’ll start using it more regularly.

Use as an aid for creating biofilm and food source for my neocaradina shrimp. I mix 1/8 of a tsp along with 1/8 tsp of Shrimpfit + in a 1 oz. squeeze bottle of tank water. I also may add some spirulina powder. Both of my shrimp tanks have the same water parameters. I give each tank a squirt every 2 days ... approx 1/2 tsp. They love it! My baby shrimps appeared about 3 + weeks ago. Guessing they are 4 to 5 weeks old and are half the size of adults already. Haven't lost a single one! They do get other foods, but seem to go for this as soon as it starts spreading around the tanks. Afterwards they gather on the sponge filters to clean those up too. The shrimp, snails, and octocinculus all love this stuff and the biofilm that is a staple.

If you aren’t a shrimp breeder and you don’t have a colony over like 200 DO NOT use the full dose in the instructions, use about the size of a grain of rice for a colony under 20 other than that great food shrimp love it

My otocinclus were eating nothing I gave them so I bought them this, ever since then they’ve gotten nice and fat and much more active!

Fantastic product, I add a small amount as I have a community tank. Since I added BacterAE shrimp seem a bit more active and comfortable than before. The excess bio film is good for snails and hillstream loaches in the tank.

日本から頼んだら配達まで2ヶ月くらいかかりました。エビの活性は上がった？？？。。。 いまいちわからなかったです。 量は気をつけてあげてたのですが藍藻が大量発生したので、人や環境を選ぶ朝かもしれません。

Shrimps looks really happy and healthy,

Shrimps love these, seen big improvement just in the short time I've been using it, great price and arrived quickly

This stuff will quickly create the necessary layer of slime needed for keeping aquariums and their inhabitants healthy. Works well.
